Peacefully remind Americans that secession from the United States is not an option.

The US has tried secession in the past, and every American knows how that worked out - a half million Americans lost their lives. Such history must never repeat itself, especially in as great a country as the United States, wherein a strong federal system has always protected its citizens' standard of living and secured their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers. Please remind our citizens that America is still the most successful democracy the world has ever produced, and that this petition, and those petitions opposed to this petition, are the proof of true greatness. If America were any less than the wondrous experiment in democracy that it is, said petitioners would be outlawed. Say no to the extremes. Say no to secession.
